Chapter 42: Truth, The Restless Class

Natsuki Subaru thought about it briefly.

Natsuki Subaru didn't have many personal needs beyond eating and drinking. His free time was basically spent with Hiyori Shiina in the library; he had no demand for things like karaoke, movies, or shopping.

At most, he might buy a few novels that weren't available in the library. The books in the library were mostly classic literature and knowledge-based texts.

His food expenses fluctuated between 100,000 and 120,000 personal points p...

Chapter 41: Suzune Horikita's Progress

A brand new month, the first day. Everyone's mood was just like today's weather: extremely gloomy.

The one hundred thousand personal points per month that were originally promised did not arrive at the agreed-upon time. This cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone in Year 1, Class D.

Just as Natsuki Subaru had mentioned in his chat with Suzune Horikita before.

It wasn't that the people in Year 1, Class D couldn't realize this, but rather that they were now clearly realizin...

Chapter 40: A New Month and Arisu Sakayanagi's Expectation

From Arisu Sakayanagi's perspective, setting aside Year 1, Class C for now, the performance of Year 1, Class B was truly a bit over the top.

Based on Year 1, Class B's performance, Year 1, Class A would likely face a challenge right from the start of the semester, and there was a high probability they would fall to the level of Year 1, Class B from the very beginning.

With everyone having the information, it would become a pure contest of attitude.

Everyone is a good student...

Chapter 39: Without Color, It Doesn't Count as Oppai

“Not a bad threat.”

“Using yourself as a weapon, not hesitating to tarnish your own name to build a line of defense…”

Natsuki Subaru didn't immediately pull his hand back, and Kikyō Kushida had no intention of letting go.

Feeling Kikyō Kushida's quietly accelerating heartbeat, the smile on Natsuki Subaru's face became even more pronounced. He commented, “Kikyo-san, you're even more excellent than I imagined.”

‘If only she could completely cast off tha...

Chapter 38: Pressing a Handprint, Not Just a Verbal Threat

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

I was so focused on the bench just now that I didn't even think to look at the grass, and I completely missed that there was someone lying there.

Who is that?!

How long have they been there?!

How much of my behavior just now did they hear and see?!

Kikyō Kushida's mind was spinning wildly.

Should she just walk away as if nothing had happened?

Kikyō Kushida believed that without concrete evidence, given her popularity and c...

Chapter 37: Exposed, the Real Kikyō Kushida

The coastline was deserted at night. Listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves, Natsuki Subaru drifted off to sleep with his thoughts in disarray.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Just as Natsuki Subaru began to feel the chill growing heavier on his body.

Duang!

A dull, heavy impact, seemingly laced with anger, suddenly rang out, capturing Natsuki Subaru's attention.

Following it was a voice both very familiar and very strange to Natsuki Subaru.

Chapter 36: Natsuki Subaru's Heart is Beating

So, before he was transported back to this parallel modern world, back when he was still in the fantasy world, Natsuki Subaru had never disguised himself. Whether he was a mass murderer or left rivers of blood in his wake, Natsuki Subaru had never once put on a facade.

Natsuki Subaru would never hide himself in front of those who possessed color just because he knew he was an irredeemable sinner. And now, it was even more impossible for him to guide Hiyori Shiina just to test her potent...

Chapter 35: Exposed? A Proactive Display

“You don't need to get so serious all of a sudden.”

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's overly earnest expression, Hiyori Shiina quickly waved her hands.

“Natsuki-kun.”

“How many personal points do you have left for this month?”

After a moment of thought, Hiyori Shiina asked with a similar seriousness, “I'm asking because I've noticed your daily spending seems rather casual.”

It was just as Natsuki Subaru had guessed.

Hiyori Shiina's hesitation, and wha...

Chapter 34: The Dividing Line between the ‘genuine article’ and the ‘imitation’

Chatting with Suzune Horikita and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji during class was no problem.

After all, at times like this, Natsuki Subaru had nothing else to do besides sit at his desk and contemplate life. Finding something interesting for himself wasn't a bad idea.

However, when it came to free time after class, Natsuki Subaru didn't want to waste his time here.

“Natsuki…”

Seeing Natsuki Subaru stand up, Suzune Horikita subconsciously wanted to call out to him.

Al...

Chapter 33: Cognition and Common Sense, The Definition of Ordinary

“Not as simple as it looks on the surface?”

Although she had already made up her mind to ignore Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, after hearing Natsuki Subaru's words, Suzune Horikita still subconsciously looked at the grade sheet on the blackboard.

“Kiyotaka Ayanokōji… scores for each subject?”

“Fifty… fifty… fifty?”

At first, her tone was still very impatient, but when she saw that Kiyotaka Ayanokōji's subsequent scores for every subject wer...

Chapter 32: The 'Unremarkable' White Room Masterpiece

“I’m very sorry for unilaterally agreeing to Kikyo-san’s request and asking you out, Horikita-san…”

A hint of helplessness appeared on Kiyotaka Ayanokōji’s expressionless face as he said, “But, Natsuki-kun, are you sure it’s a good idea to just divert the topic to me like that?”

“As people who were both asked by Kikyo-san, shouldn’t we be considered allies?”

As a ‘weapon’ raised by the White Room, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji was undoubtedly lacking a bit...

Chapter 31: Suzune Horikita's Personal View

“What’s so surprising about that?”

“I think ninety percent of the students in our class feel that getting one hundred thousand personal points every month is… off.”

Is Year 1, Class D really so lax that they haven't noticed anything?

To that, Natsuki Subaru says no.

Many, if not almost everyone, found it absurd and strange that the school would give them personal points worth one hundred thousand yen as pocket money every month. What’s more, the academy i...

Chapter 30: Natsuki Subaru Who Successfully Demonstrated His Value

The information that he had an extra million points wasn't something to look forward to in itself.

Arisu Sakayanagi also disdained using the balance screenshot Natsuki Subaru had willingly provided to cause trouble, because it was tasteless.

However, what the one million points symbolized was rather intriguing.

After all, even Arisu Sakayanagi herself had only managed to get less than five hundred thousand points from generous upperclassmen; obtaining one million would requi...

Chapter 29: Bonus Chapter, Begging for Votes

‘Over 560,000 points?’

Seeing Arisu Sakayanagi's balance screenshot, Natsuki Subaru was a little surprised.

Although he knew this academy operated on meritocracy, and there were likely many ways to harvest a large number of points like he had done, the first-years didn't have that many points to begin with.

During his previous casual chats with Arisu Sakayanagi on his phone, she had told him that the current de facto leader of Year 1, Class A was Kohei Katsuragi.

A...

Chapter 28: Tossing a Coin, It's Heads

“How heartbreaking.”

“So in your eyes, Natsuki-kun, I'm just someone who tries to be clever?”

Hearing Natsuki Subaru's reply, Arisu Sakayanagi froze for a moment, then laughed as if it were nothing.

As a typical character who believed herself to be very smart, Arisu Sakayanagi naturally wouldn't be driven to self-doubt by a few words from Natsuki Subaru.

On the contrary, Arisu Sakayanagi was very happy right now.

Because Natsuki Subaru had taken the bait....

Chapter 27: The Smart Aleck and the Frog in Warm Water

“A very classic work by Agatha Christie.”

Arisu Sakayanagi asked with a smile, “Natsuki-kun, do you enjoy reading mystery novels?”

“I’m only slightly interested.”

“Sakayanagi-san, is there something wrong with being carefree?”

Natsuki Subaru didn’t even bother to look up, instead opening to the title page of the novel in his hand.

Subaru wasn't particularly interested in Arisu Sakayanagi.

She was just a brat who thought she was smarter t...

Chapter 26: Arisu Sakayanagi, the Uninvited Guest

That was the gist of it.

Natsuki Subaru had provided more than enough analysis and hints.

Any more than that, and what would be the difference between that and Subaru befriending Suzune Horikita himself?

The reason Subaru was interested in the affair between Kikyō Kushida and Suzune Horikita was precisely because he wanted to see if the final outcome between the two would be any different from his own back then, wasn't it?

If he got too involved, it would lose its mea...

Chapter 25: The Presence or Absence of Value, Suzune Horikita's Behavioral Logic

“Since Kikyo-san put it that way.”

“Then let's analyze it a little.”

Natsuki Subaru put down his utensils and smiled. “Kikyō Kushida, I wonder, what's your general impression of ‘Horikita-san’?”

The person known as Suzune Horikita was actually very easy to understand once you grasped a bit of her inner personality and daily behavioral logic.

In Natsuki Subaru's view, Kikyō Kushida's initial strategy of ‘catering to her interests’ was not wrong in ...

Chapter 24: Kikyō Kushida's Weight and Proportion

Just as Natsuki Subaru had thought.

Although Kikyō Kushida had noticed Suzune Horikita's wariness after their last 'accidental encounter' and stopped deliberately hovering around her to avoid further provocation.

However, this did not mean that Kikyō Kushida was no longer paying attention to Suzune Horikita.

Kikyō Kushida was quite satisfied with her life at this academy; she was happy every single day.

She had made many friends, even more than she had in middle sch...

Chapter 23: A Reminder to Kiyotaka Ayanokōji

“There's no problem.”

“I was just thinking, getting one hundred thousand points every month is really amazing, isn't it.”

Natsuki Subaru said with a smile.

Seeing Haruki Yamauchi's carefree expression, Natsuki Subaru suddenly started to look forward to next month.

The rules of this school weren't hard to guess. The only thing that truly mattered was whether one could notice something was wrong with the school and actually take some action based on that realizat...

Chapter 22: The First Week and Faction Division

Natsuki Subaru was also a little interested in Suzune Horikita.

If Kikyō Kushida was his ‘kindred spirit’ at this stage, allowing Natsuki Subaru to see a bit of his current self, then Suzune Horikita let Natsuki Subaru see his former self.

That disguised, ‘lofty’ genius.

Suzune Horikita finally turned her head.

Her cold gaze fell upon Natsuki Subaru as she said flatly, “There's but a fine line between blind confidence and ignorance.”

“Never mind. I...

Chapter 21: The Former Genius Boy, Natsuki Subaru

The academy at night was very quiet.

After all, the academy was situated on an independent artificial island. The island itself wasn't small, but aside from the staff and teachers, the total number of students wouldn't exceed four hundred and eighty.

And the number would only be smaller than four hundred and eighty, never more.

Natsuki Subaru didn't encounter a single soul on his way to the seashore. He sat alone on a bench facing the sea. The damp, cool sea breeze slightly ...

Chapter 341: Strangle

“Ngh… ah…”

Alain viciously grabbed her throat and kicked the door, slamming it shut with a “bang.” He dragged her, forcefully smashing Wanhua's back against the door.

Thud!

The heavy door let out a dull thud, shaking a nearby bookshelf. But it was nothing compared to the girl's face, flushed red as she suffocated.

“Ah… Alain, what are you trying to do?”

Her deep brown eyes were fixed on his face. Although she asked the question, there wasn't the...

Chapter 7: Plan

My brother and the others must be back...

Ayaka couldn't help but think as she walked toward her home.

Otherwise, she really couldn't understand who Her Excellency, the Shogun wanted her to greet.

“Miss Ayaka? Where are you?”

Just as Ayaka entered the courtyard through the back gate, she heard Thoma calling her name.

It really is my brother and Thoma...

Now Ayaka was certain who Her Excellency, the Shogun wanted her to greet, and she called out, “I'm ...

Chapter 66: What is Pale King Doing?

"The legend... it was actually true..."

Akshi walked at the very front, gazing at the giant, illusory woman with azure light wings in the distance, muttering to himself.

"What legend?"

Lefiya and Tiona both moved closer curiously to ask. Immediately after, they heard the little Goblin ramble on.

“Once upon a time, in the forest, there was a golden rooster, a rainbow butterfly, and a young infant dragon. They were the three miracles created by the Mother of Darkness.�...

Chapter 89: Votive Power

Levi closed his eyes.

He actually had a solution for the current situation.

For instance, with the buff from his Constellation, his Electro-element Vision had already accumulated a full 240 stacks of Chakra Desiderata.

If Levi were willing to unleash that 'Musou Isshin,'

while it might not recreate the spectacular 'Musoujin Gorge' from the world of Genshin, clearing the field and washing the ground of the plain wouldn't be as difficult as imagined.

However, it wa...

Chapter 6: That girl, maybe she really is the Wind God

Wind?

She's the Anemo Archon?

He couldn't help but think this about the mysterious girl who had appeared before him. After all, the sudden gale and the fact that she was now floating in mid-air were clear indicators that she was no ordinary person.

But even so, he found it hard to believe that Mondstadt's Anemo Archon would appear before his very eyes, especially since he had heard that Mondstadt's Anemo Archon hadn't been seen in a very long time.

So…

What on ...

Chapter 59: Nagumo Miyabi: You've ruined my plans

“I've been here from the start. Also, Nagumo-senpai, isn't it a bit much to pry into someone's secrets like this?”

Shikime Natsu continued, getting up from the sofa and slowly walking over to Ichinose Honami's side.

“What are you talking about, Junior Shikime? I just wanted to understand Ichinose's problems so I can help her correct her flaws and join the Student Council. This is what she wants, isn't it?”

Nagumo Miyabi feigned ignorance, then quickly put on an expre...

Chapter 90: Freya, I Pray to You... (Bonus Chapter)

Let's turn back time slightly, to about ten minutes ago, not long after the War Game had just begun.

Hyakinthos, having buried the Apollo Familia's flag, quickly arrived at the main battlefield, drawn by the sounds of battle between Levi and the Freya Familia's reinforcement team.

However, he was actually a bit late.

To be more precise, Levi was too strong.

It seemed like he had several exchanges with the five members of the Freya Familia team, but in reality, from the...

Chapter 75: God of the Gale, King of the High Tower (4)

Decarabian, transformed into a stream of azure light, froze in the sky.

Above, the once-solid, grayish-white storm wall was disintegrating, letting out a deafening wail. Massive cracks spread across it, and the escaping turbulent energy made space itself seem to warp.

Venti struggled to maintain Gunnhildr and Lumiere's flight. The two humans and one sprite barely steadied themselves, their blades glowing with the clear light of wind behind them, ready to strike.

Meanwhile, A...
